Where to find it in Cognizy
Video lesson coming soon. For now, follow the steps below.
Videos can be narrated by the voices from Cognizy's cast or by brand voices: saved from the library (no cost to save), created from a description, or cloned. The default voice is the one used for new videos.
Where to find it in Cognizy
Before you start
- Creating your own voice costs 30 credits, one time. Saving from the library is free.
- A company can have up to 5 own voices and 10 from the library.
Step by step
- Step 1:
Open and click Voice Library.
- Step 2:
Filter by gender, age, and use (ad, conversation, narration…), listen to the preview, and click Save on the ones that fit the brand. They'll then appear in the voice selection for videos and avatars.
- Step 3:
For a voice exclusive to the company, click Create by Description: choose female or male, describe what the voice sounds like, and click Create 3 Previews (free). Listen and save the one you choose.
- Step 4:
Saved and created voices appear under Brand Voices. In each one's menu, Set as Default, Rename or Delete. Deleting removes the voice from Cognizy; videos already narrated keep their audio.
- Step 5:
In Cast, the voice marked as Default is the one used for new videos. To switch, click Set as Default on the voice you prefer.
How to know it worked
The chosen voice shows the Default badge and starts narrating new videos. Videos already made keep the voice they had.
If something goes wrong
I can't save more voices.
The limit is 5 own voices and 10 from the library. Delete one you're not using to make room.
The voice sounds different from the preview.
Pace and intonation change with the text. In the video editor, adjust the narration speed and tone.
Next step
Use the voice in a video with an avatar.
